Pre-installation
For maximum performance and safety from your
spindle shaper, clean and check it carefully
before installation.
Inspect the packing crate for physical or water
damage. Immediately contact the shipper if any
damage is noted.
Remove box and wood crating completely from
around shaper. Check that all parts are present
and undamaged. Check the specification plate
on the shaper to confirm that the correct model
shaper has been shipped to you.
Check that all shipping packaging is removed
from the shaper, particularly in and around all
moving parts. Remove all tape, wire, tags and
any other foreign materials.
Clean the shaper using products suitable for
removing protective coatings. Do not use
solvents on plastic parts of electrical cord or
damage may result.
Before lifting the machine, remove all foot bolts
locking it to the shipping base.
Transport the machine to the installation site
using a hand truck or dolly suitable for the
weight.
The shaper should be placed in an area with a
sturdy level floor, good ventilation and sufficient
lighting. Leave enough space around the
machine for mounting extension wings and rail
assemblies, and loading and off-loading stock
and general maintenance work.
Level the machine in both directions using metal
shims, if needed. Check that all four corners are
properly supported. If machine is not to be
bolted to the floor, make sure it rests solidly after
leveling.
